Mathematics: Year 5 • Year 6 ~ Stand-alone activities

In this section of the NWN website there are stand-alone activities covering different learning objectives for mathematics. They have been provided in Interactive Whiteboard File format. Each stand-alone activity/lesson has been provided with explanatory notes on front cover of the IWB file. These explain the objectives, year group and intention behind the whiteboard file.

Many of these stand-alone resources are templates that can be adapted to meet different learning objectives, for example Venn diagrams, various number lines and frames that can be used creatively to reinforce number skills such as the Dartboard Files. Interactive Whiteboard Files can be amended to meet the specific needs of your class.
